President Daniel Noboa had plans to re-establish US military bases in Ecuador and reform the country's constitution. That won't happen after voters rejected the proposals in Sunday's referendum.

The result is unexpected. Opinion polls ahead of the election showed that it would go the way of the popular president, who recently secured his second term in office.
